Beyond Cataclysm Clouds Poem by John Sensele

Beyond the tears and fears
The new normal on us imposes
A silver succour snatches spears
From delicate doses, replicate roses and pontificate poses.

Beyond accusations and counter accusations
Western and Eastern leaders trade
Amid efforts to emasculate WHO civilisations
History will conclude we did not make the grade.

Beyond nimble nuances and differences
Global scientists and geneticists overcome
A ray of hope streams from collaboration conferences
Where vaccine development strives to come home.

Beyond leadership egos and geopolitical goals
Exponential spikes in covid 19 infections
Cast a dark pall on the survival of supplicant souls
Unless sympathy and empathy meet at ingenious intersections.
